When a pig 1H to be killed seo that tho knives ore sluui) and bi good form and that everything ls in readiness for Bcruplhj? and haiiglng the Carcass; A cheap and, suitable scalding vat can be found in n purailbi casu, which may b'j ?et In o slanting position sit the end of thc scraping table, which should be abou: Bix feet long, two feet six Inches wide and two feet high. Tho water should be nt u temperature of between 180 and 185 degrees when tho hog is placed therein. If too hot cr too cold tho bah will not come off properly. The old fashioned plan of testing the tempera lure was to pour a few- drops of the pig's blood Into the water. If il spread evenly over tho surface tba tem perature was considered right. The waler should not be removed from the fire until It is quite boiling, and then If put into a cold barrel the temperature will be about right when the pig Is ready to be put into lt. A small shovel ful cf wood oshea or it large h a nd fill of soft soap put into tho water will facili tate tho loosening of the scurf. After sticking or shooting tho pig walt until life ls quite extinct before putting into the water.- If this is not done the blood in the Capillaries of the akin w?rbe congealed abd tho ukin be reddened. Try tile bair often to know when suflleiently scalded. Removo the hair from the feet and head with the untidsjor with ?. scraper- tho lid of an old coffeepot is uti escelleiil implement -and then from Ibo body. If properly scalded It will come o'3f easby. When the hair is removed serape the body clean mid trim it up with a sbnrp knit":?. Hang th.? carcass np, wash with hot waler, then scrape, ri:is_> with cold water and be careful tn r.niove all scurf.
